POORI |Puffy Puri| Deep fried Indian Bread

Poori is a deep fried Indian bread made using atta/wheat flour. Poori is a versatile recipe which can be served with savory or sweet courses. In Tamil Nadu, Poori with Potato Masala is a popular breakfast recipe. You can also serve this with sooji halwa or any other savory courses.

Today, I am sharing a basic poori recipe for beginners to get fully puffed pooris. Poori dough should be little harder than chapati dough. While rolling pooris, keep it thick to get fully puffed pooris. I am adding cumin seeds to the dough which helps in digestion. You could add ajwain (omam) instead of cumin seeds. You can prepare poori instantly. Resting time is not needed.
